Dr. Tahsina Farah Sanam
Associate Professor in the Institute of Appropriate Technology
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Talk Title: Tackling Healthcare Inequality with Inclusive AI
Dr. Tahsina is currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Institute of Appropriate Technology at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Dr. Sanam completed her Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rutgers University, New Jersey in 2020. She earned both her M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 2012, and B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering in 2009 from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Her research areas lie at the intersection of applied machine learning, signal processing, and cyber physical systems with a focus on smart city, intelligent systems, and environment sensing & monitoring.
Dr. Sanam’s primary research focus is to exploit artificial intelligence, advanced statistics and machine learning techniques to make homes and offices beyond smart. The Internet of Things (IoT) has shifted from an emerging idea into an established industry in its own right – one that smart cities will be an integral part of. Smart city projects leverage IoT, AI, and networking to make urban living more efficient and convenient through everything from smart traffic lights and data-driven energy efficiency schemes, smart hospitals, to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and interactive kiosks that offer free broadband. In the approach of the Smart Cities Mission, the objective of Dr. Sanam’s research is to promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of ‘Smart’ Solutions. The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at compact areas, create a replicable model which will act like a lighthouse to other aspiring cities. With that aim, her goal is to establish an independent research career in Bangladesh with multidisciplinary collaborations in the field of smart city development leveraging the advanced Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to make sensor-based systems smarter, trustworthy, and easier to use. She is currently in charge of the research laboratory named ‘Cyber Physical Intelligence’ at IAT, BUET as the Lab Director. The Cyber Physical Intelligence (CPI) Laboratory’s overarching mission is to propose novel sensing paradigms to transform raw sensed heterogeneous data into valuable information (by giving semantic meaning to the collected data) and, finally, into knowledge through information fusion and integration. The paradigms will apply to those distributed systems that need to timely react to sensor information with an effective action such as cyber-physical systems, which feature a tight combination of, and coordination between, the system’s computational and physical elements. The significance of the research is to leverage the acquired knowledge to broaden the potential of cyber physical systems in several dimensions, including smart healthcare, e-commerce, augmentation of human capabilities, understanding of human activities, smart medical waste management and smart traffic management, to name a few.

Talk Title: Building Digital Health Ecosystem to Achieve Universal Health Coverage
Abstract
Healthcare is a basic need of humans. However, it is one of the biggest challenges in Bangladesh and many developing countries, where many people are not getting good healthcare due to lack of infrastructure, systems and resources. On the other hand, healthcare is about to enter a period of rapid transformation by utilizing Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies. Longevity and the advance of new technologies and discoveries – as well as innovative combinations of existing ones – are among the many factors pushing patient empowerment, which is fundamentally changing how we prevent, diagnose and cure diseases. Rapid growth of digital technology plays a big role in the healthcare system and helps to predict future health consequences and utilize preventive measures to protect it and improve quality of living. The Digital Health Ecosystem triggered by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres. The potential for merging physical, digital and biological systems certainly has far-reaching potential for healthcare provision. The talk will discuss the way forward of building Digital Health Ecosystem towards Smart Bangladesh. It also discusses the implementation experience of Digital Health Inclusion that is transforming the healthcare landscape in Bangladesh using comprehensive multi-layered scalable digital healthcare platform by connecting people with health services, early diagnosis, health education & referrals for intervention to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
